How To Cancel A Pre-Order On Xbox? [Complete Guide]

Xbox has added a new feature that allows users to pre-order gaming sets. Xbox Preorders is a strategy by Xbox that will enable you to order Xbox games well before the specified delivery date.

For example, if your Xbox game is scheduled to arrive on August 10, you can request that it be sent by May 11.

Now let’s see how you can do the same and cancel your pre-order Xbox.

Can You Cancel A Pre-Order Xbox?

Just like Xbox offers a Pre-Order facility to its users, it also allows them to cancel their Pre-Orders. Individuals can cancel Pre-Orders up to 10 days before the launch of the game.

When the cancellation is performed, you will be billed. After that, you will have to request a refund for the cancellation to take place.
